Halloween party Airedale style.

The Sarasota Polo Club and our Airedale club were kind enough to invite the members to a Halloween party Airedale style.

The Sarasota Polo Club at Lakewood Ranch in Sarasota, Florida.

Every Sunday afternoon during season, the public is invited to bring out their picnic baskets and enjoy the thrill of the “fastest game on four feet”. With pony and Clydesdale wagon rides, exciting action, tailgating, half-time entertainment, divot stomping and plenty of fresh air, Sunday polo is the perfect place for a family outing; dogs are even welcome on a leash.
Experience Sarasota Polo – the best kept secret on the West Coast of Florida!

Why should dogs still be digging holes?

Why Dogs Dig and What You Can Do

This is an ongoing dispute in our household and I am sure in many others.

She thinks that it is a dogs god given right to dig, (we have an Airedale) because their ancestors had to dig to survive.

Some wild dog relatives, like foxes and wolves, dig dens to raise their young. Sleeping in a den protects the young pups from extreme temperatures (both hot and cold) and from predators.

Why should dogs still be digging holes?

My answer is, “ if you want her to keep digging like her ancestors did centuries ago, go build us a cave like your ancestors did centuries ago, set up housekeeping in it and she can dig just like her ancestors did”?

OK, I rest my case with this photo!

Living proof that Airedales are spoiled as much as if not more then our children and grandchildren?

We were beginning to think that, although she deserve it, we spoil Breanna far too much.

You got to love a family like this.

Renewable Energy to the Rescue

Guerrilla Marketing to Save Mountain Gorillas

Renewable Energy to the Rescue

By John R. Platt | September 25, 2012

In one hand, the costumed gorilla holds an energy-efficient stove.

In the other, he carries a bag of biomass briquettes.

Put together these two items could provide safe, inexpensive, environmentally friendly fuel for heating and cooking to the 250,000 refugees currently crowding around Virunga National Park as they flee violence from the ongoing civil war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Unfortunately, the region is saturated by real guerillas and at least nine militia groups that kill people and animals every day.

The situation in the Congo is undoubtedly going to get worse before it gets better, but if refugees can save a few dollars when buying cooking fuel and protect wildlife in the process, the park may have a brighter future ahead.

Tripod is an outsourced junk company!

Like everything else in this world, as soon as their company was sold and outsourced out of the United States their product dropped to junk status!

I would say that about 75% of the people coming to my blogger postings are from people all over the world looking for a way to dumb their tripod sites, both free and paid sites!

This is real sad, because it use to be one of the, if not the top website builder in the world.

Now it is just junk and a bad foreign company's way to make money from advertising!
